On the other hand, Onigashima!
Yi Xiao floated in the sky, holding Gravity Blade.
Around him, three enormous meteorites were spinning continuously!
That's right, he seems to have identified himself as the sun, absorbing the meteorite into his gravitational field and using it to suppress Kaido!
Fighting like a planet—that's the full-power mode for YiXiao. Randomly dropping a meteor to hit someone is just an unspoken rule among monsters!
At this very moment, Issho, surrounded by the enormous meteorite, charged toward Kaido with his sword!
Kaido swung the Hassaikai, leaped onto a meteorite in the blink of an eye, and slammed it down!
"Raimei Hakke!"
With a casual strike, Yixiao's meteorite shattered instantly, but in just a moment, the shattered meteorite reformed and continued to spin rapidly around Yixiao!
That makes sense when you think about it. Meteorites are just rocks in space; even if they're broken, their material doesn't just disappear into thin air.
With gravity constantly influencing them, the shattered fragments and powder immediately reassemble. As long as Yi Xiao's stamina is not exhausted, these meteorites under his control will never disappear!
Seeing that his efforts had been in vain, Kaido frowned in displeasure.
"Compared to you, Mihawk is much more decisive!"
I'd rather be beaten down by him than be worn down by a troublesome guy like you!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido transformed into a streak of black light and charged towards Issho.
Facing the newly formed meteorite that was spinning and blocking his path, Kaido snorted coldly and then charged directly into it!
A moment later...
Whoosh!!!
Kaido actually managed to crawl out of the meteorite and then finally rushed up to Issho!
Seeing Kaido so close at hand, Yixiao remained expressionless and unleashed a horizontal slash.
"Gravity Blade, Fierce Tiger!"
"Kundali Longsheng Army!"
They roared out their moves with gusto, and then they were about to clash fiercely.
But just as the two of them were about to make contact...
Gawain had already abandoned Beckman and then landed between Issho and Kaido.
Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from both sides, Gawain opened his arms, and immediately, boundless lightning gathered in front of his hands!
"Thunderclap - Xingtian!!!"
With a low growl from Gawain, two lightning gates, composed of lightning and imbued with the aura of Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, suddenly appeared on either side of Gawain!
These two large doors don't look like simple doors at all; instead, they resemble a headless... robust body as strong as a city wall!
It's faintly visible in the inverted triangle at the center of this body.
The lightning vaguely formed distorted eyes and mouth!
The next moment...
Boom!!!
Buzzing!!!
On one side was Kaido's incredibly hard spiked club.
On the other side was Yixiao's unpredictable gravity field.
The two doors on either side of Gawain were locked in a stalemate for only a moment before they suddenly shattered open!
As the lines of lightning rapidly spread, Kaido seemed to hear a desolate roar, a roar that seemed to strike right into his heart!
Moments later, amidst the dissipating lightning.
Gawain gripped Yi Xiao's blade tightly with his left hand.
His right hand was outstretched, forcefully blocking Kaido's spiked club as it charged forward!
In this situation, Gawain should say a few words to make the most of his current feat.
But he had to admit that he was under immense pressure at that moment, and speaking was simply too difficult for him!
Seemingly sensing Gawain's predicament, Yi Xiao quickly withdrew his blade, then bowed slightly to Gawain while holding the hilt of his sword, and said...
"My lord, I'll leave Kaido to you. I'll go and participate in the campaign against the Red-Haired Pirates right away!"
At this critical moment, Red-Haired Shanks, actually wanted to be the final straw that broke the camel's back!
"I will absolutely not allow this to happen!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled and turned to leave. He took only two steps in the air before wielding his Gravity Blade and slashing fiercely.
He slashed in the direction where Red-Haired Shanks was, and a moment later, the three meteorites that had been surrounding him rushed toward Red-Haired Shanks in a chain!
Seeing the meteorite approaching from afar, Shanks let out a deep breath.
"Mihawk, what on earth are you thinking?"
Look at those meteorites! The officers on Gawain's ship are already this strong, and you still joined him!
Haven't you ever considered the balance of the ocean?
"The Gawain now wields has made the already fragile balance at sea as dangerous and interconnected as a Domino effect!"
After saying that, the Red-Haired Shanks suddenly turned around and slashed at the meteorite with his sword!
At the same time, Beckman, who was fighting Rayleigh in the distance, casually fired two bullets in the direction of the meteorite!
Moments later, all three incoming meteorites shattered, but this was just the beginning!
After the meteorite shattered, Yixiao looked up at the sky.
Moments later, three new meteorites suddenly descended. These three meteorites, each several kilometers in diameter, were much larger than the last one, and they once again circled around Yi Xiao!
He simply aimed in his direction, smiled, drew his sword, and leaped forward, letting out a soft shout.
"Gravity Blade, Stars!"
As he spoke, an incredibly intense gravity surged between him and the three orbiting meteorites.
Centered on him and bounded by the meteorite, all matter within this range was instantly ground to dust by the terrifying gravity, and then turned into part of the meteorite!
As more and more matter was obliterated by the smile, the three meteorites grew larger and larger.
If you were to look down from high above at this moment, you would see Issho, just like the Aurelion Sol, wreaking havoc in the direction of the Red-Haired Pirates, accompanied by an ever-expanding gravitational field!
Seeing such a powerful laugh, Beckman's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but curse.
"Damn it!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Beckman fired a dozen or so bullets in quick succession!
This barrage of Conqueror's Haki energy caused sweat to bead on Beckman's forehead.
He even snapped the gun in his hand in half!
Clearly, this move was also difficult for him to withstand.
But the key point is that such a huge move only slowed down Yixiao slightly!
Not only did it fail to stop Yixiao's attack, but it also ruined one of its own guns!
Shaking his head in frustration, Beckman wiped his sweat, then drew another Fire Pistol from his waist.
"In a one-on-one battle, this guy definitely wouldn't be able to use such a move. Just charging it up would take tens of seconds. It's only because your Dark Bird Ship doesn't lack high-level combat power!"
After giving a sarcastic laugh, Beckman, holding the gun in his left hand, simply drew the knife hanging from his waist with his right.
With a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right, he rushed towards Rayleigh in the blink of an eye!
"The last time I had to use this trick was with that crazy old Big Mom from afar!"
That time, my battle with Big Mom allowed Shanks to successfully hold off Kaido and protect the territory we had taken from them!
I never imagined that less than a year later, I'd be pushed to this point again!
Rayleigh, if I had known earlier that your Dark Bird Ship could evolve into this form, then I..."
"Ha, what do you want?"
Rayleigh disdainfully interrupted Beckman, and at the same time, he stepped forward and gracefully swung more than thirty swords.
The clanging and clashing of swords filled the air as Beckman, while clashing his blades, suddenly fired another bullet at Rayleigh!
"Insidious!"
Rayleigh shouted, then had no choice but to sheathe his sword and defend. At the same time, Beckman raised his hand and fired three shots to further force Rayleigh back, then immediately turned and charged toward Yixiao, whose momentum was growing stronger!
Issho's attack covered almost a third of Wano Country. If this attack is allowed to continue expanding, it might wipe out the entire Wano Country in one fell swoop!
In any case, Beckman will absolutely not allow Yixiao to continue gathering his strength!
In the distance, Shanks shared the same thought. He raised his hand to force Mihawk back and said in a low voice.
"Hey, Yixiao, this guy's been hiding way too much, hasn't he?"
If he's allowed to continue building up his power on the high seas, could he crush half the world into dust with a single strike?
In short, let's wait a while before continuing the fight, otherwise, if we let Issho continue, the losses for Wano Country will be too great!
Although there are hardly any people left here, even if no one dies, after most of Wano Country's mountains and rivers have been destroyed, the remaining Wano Country will find it very difficult to survive!
As soon as he finished speaking, Shanks magnanimously turned around, exposing his back to Mihawk.
Mihawk paused for a moment, watching Shanks into the distance, then smiled slightly.
"Even at a time like this, you don't forget the common people. You've got a really big heart."
After saying that, Mihawk rested for a moment, then stood still, gripping his Black Blade, Night.
In the distance, Shanks and Beckman met in the blink of an eye. They stood in front of the star cluster enveloped by a smile, each holding a sword and holding the edge of the ever-advancing star cluster!
Clang!!!
Suddenly, a series of violent friction sounds rang out, and the star cluster controlled by Yixiao inevitably began to slow down.
As the friction sounds intensified, Shanks and Beckman unleashed their Conqueror's Haki.
The laughter finally stopped!
Seeing that the star cluster had finally stopped growing, Shanks and Beckman breathed a sigh of relief. They exchanged a glance and then immediately rushed into the star cluster that was no longer growing.
Ding ding ding ding!!!
After the two swordsmen slammed into Yi Xiao's Gravity Blade, Yi Xiao inevitably dispersed the star cluster, letting the meteorite fall uncontrollably to the ground, while he himself was sent flying backward!
Bang bang bang!!!
Boom boom boom!!!
As the three colossal meteorites landed, Gawain and Kaido even stopped fighting and turned their heads to take a look.
After a single glance, Kaido and said with a cold smile!
"I've seen your bastard's newspaper, Gawain!"
You always appear in the newspapers like a savior!
And now, haha!
You are clearly destroyers of the world, where is the semblance of a savior?!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido charged forward.
Across from him, Gawain sneered, then rebuked him.
Have you ever seen a savior who can save the world without sacrificing anyone?
Moreover, the world that needs saving is not one suddenly facing annihilation, but one that is slowly decaying and deteriorating like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water!
Serious illnesses require strong medicine, and those with strong palates need more seasoning. You surely understand such a simple principle!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain narrowed his eyes in appreciation. He really hadn't expected that Yi Xiao would actually have a move that resembled the Aurelion Sol.
This technique, which requires constant accumulation of power and can continuously expand its range and increase its power during the accumulation process, was truly beyond Gawain's imagination.
I just don't know what the limit of a smile is.
If his limit allows him to extend the range of his attacks to a diameter of thousands of kilometers...
That would far surpass the level of destroying an island; it would be close to the level of destroying the world!
Of course, Gawain guessed that Yi Xiao could not possibly have such a limit.
If he could, he could use that smile from time to time, and he would probably have made a name for himself as the Uranus of Smiles long ago!
Even Rayleigh at his peak had the title of Dark King, so why can't Issho, who hasn't even reached his peak, be called Uranus?
However, now was not the time to consider nicknames. After a brief moment of admiration in his mind, Gawain looked at Kaido again.
On the other side, Kaido frowned deeply upon hearing Gawain's words.
"Ha, even someone like you knows that the world is corrupt!"
But when you uttered those seemingly clever words, did you ever consider that the greatest corruption in this world is that of you Celestial Dragon, who ride roughshod over others and have been superior to us ordinary people for generations?!
No, not just the Celestial Dragon, but all the nobles in the world!
You were born nobles, and your children are nobles too. For generations to come, you have had the right to treat the lives and everything of commoners as worthless toys and trash!
At this point, Kaido angrier, and he snorted twice as he swung his spiked club in annoyance.
"King Kong -shaped Diproton!!!"
As he shouted, the air he waved flew towards Gawain like arrows!
Gawain raised his hand and slashed the air arrow with a single blow, and as he did so, Kaido couldn't help but continue speaking.
"Only a world without nobles is a truly beautiful world!"
Lao Tzu may not be able to articulate any profound truths in a very clever way, but Lao Tzu will always understand one thing!
As long as someone dares to ride roughshod over others, I will do everything in my power to kill them!
It's not just me; my brothers think the same way. If everyone in the world thought like me, that kind of world would be a nightmare for every one of you nobles!
Gawain, after hearing my words, you'd better understand what kind of devil is hidden behind your damned identity!
I really want to know, when you're in the middle of the night, do you ever have nightmares about being terrified by the hostility of the common people?!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido's body suddenly swelled up, and the more he spoke, the bigger the fire became!
A moment later, he transformed back into his enormous Azure Dragon Form!
Just as Kaido transformed, Gawain, holding Shusui, spoke to the rising Kaido.
"I can understand your thinking, Kaido, but I never imagined that your thinking would be so short-sighted and naive."
Does one view the nobility and the institutions that gave rise to them as imaginary enemies, and drive oneself and one's subordinates forward solely with this goal in mind?
Have you ever thought about what would happen if you actually succeeded, what if there were no more nobles in the world?
Is that the kind of world you want?
Are you sure that by then, there won't be others taking advantage of the civilians you're talking about?
Do wealthy people oppress ordinary people?
Would someone in power do that?
Most importantly, for people with power like you and me, are you sure everyone is willing to accept the de-aristocratized system you're demanding?
Do you think... that's possible?
But if that's not possible, what should we do?
Have you thought about it?
